| Koetsu black, lacking bass But I really suggest you get the test record! | |

| Is the Manley Steelhead still relevant? The "end game" piece is the Constellation Orion. John Curl's swan song? | |
| New Klipsch Conwalls (IV) Glen, the Cornwall 3's are much better. They still do not go all that low but what is there is clean. | |
| Is the Manley Steelhead still relevant? ebm, it better be as it is way more expensive. I do like that it has a balanced input. I do not like that is has 2 12AX7s in it. All the phono amps that I have listened to that have 12 AX7s have been colored. I know the Steelhead is not. I have no... | |
| The order of getting more/better bass Pardon my concentration. The infinite bass line source limits reflected energy from all surfaces except the ceiling and rear wall. | |
| The order of getting more/better bass The TAS article is OK but there are a couple of points I disagree with. The first is room size vs woofer size. An 8 inch sub is not going to go very low. It just can not project. Multiple 8 inch drivers may be able to get down to say 30 Hz but sti... | |
| New Klipsch Conwalls (IV) Great speaker. Maybe even the best Klipsch! Tubes are fine with this speaker but I would want at least 60 watts. They are shy in the lowest bass so subwoofers would be a great addition down the line. | |
| SME is leaving the OEM and aftermarket/retail tonearm business. Audiotroy, no they are not. It depends on the cartridge. But I do myself prefer the 4 points. I have a 9 and a 14. The SME 5 would be wonderful for high compliance cartridges but there are not many of those left. So for most of the cartridges we l... | |
| SME is leaving the OEM and aftermarket/retail tonearm business. Then they had better get the price of their turntables down. My suspicion is that once they get expanded they will be back. | |
| Is the Manley Steelhead still relevant? Absolutely. It gives you quite a lot for the money. If you get one and put super low noise tubes from RAM Audio Labs in it you can not do much better without spending frightful money. | |
| Cat jumped on turntable Naa, stick it in the microwave and turn it on high. | |
| Koetsu black, lacking bass dpoud, your tonearm is too light. You have to add head shell weights. To get it right you really have to get a test record like the HiFi News Test Record which will allow you to set the resonance frequency just right. I try to get it between 8 and... | |
| Turntable recommendations Peter, some solid recs here, Kuzma, Origin Live both make solid products. Stay away from idler wheel turntables. These were for commercial use in radio stations and such where the bass rolls off sharply below 50 Hz so rumble was not a concern but ... | |
| High Efficiency Loudspeakers Excuse me bache my mistake. You would never use solid wood to make a speaker cone as it's shape will change with humidity so I assume it is some kind of laminate. Since the cone has to move it has to be light. It also has to be very stiff. It has ... |
